Is a bird egg?

Question

is a bird egg a living thing or not?

Answer 1

The shell isn't living, but what's inside is if it is fertilized.  When you buy eggs in the store they are laid by chickens that have them not fertilized.  It takes a rooster or male bird to mate with the female, then she lays a fertilized egg which contains a live growing baby bird.

Answer 2

Yes.

It is the embryo of a bird. The shell protects it from the elements until the bird has the defenses to do so
